DESCRIPTION

       The  Cdk scroll widget creates a scrolling list.  The following are functions which create
       or manipulate the Cdk scrolling list widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKScroll
            activates the scroll widget and lets the user interact with the widget.

            •   The parameter scroll points to a non-NULL scroll widget.

            •   If the actions parameter is passed with a non-NULL value, the characters  in  the
                array will be injected into the widget.

                To activate the widget interactively pass in a NULL pointer for actions.

            If  the  character  entered into this widget is RETURN or TAB then this function will
            return a value from 0 to the number of items-1, representing the item  selected.   It
            will also set the widget data exitType to vNORMAL.

            If  the  character  entered into this widget was ESCAPE then the widget will return a
            value of -1 and the widget data exitType will be set to vESCAPE_HIT.

       addCDKScrollItem
            allows the user to add an item into an existing scrolling list.

            •   The scroll parameter points to the scrolling list to add the item to.

            •   The parameter item is a char * representing the new item to  add.   The  item  is
                always added to the end of the list.

       deleteCDKScrollItem
            allows the user to add an item into an existing scrolling list.

            •   The scroll parameter points to the scrolling list to add the item to.

            •   The parameter f2position is an int which specifies which element to remove.

       destroyCDKScroll
            removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object used.

       drawCDKScroll
            draws  the  scroll  widget  on  the screen.  If the box option is true, the widget is
            drawn with a box.

       eraseCDKScroll
            removes the widget from the screen.  This does NOT destroy the widget.

       getCDKScrollBox
            returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

       getCDKScrollCurrent
            returns the current item's index.

       getCDKScrollCurrentItem
            returns the current item number in the scroller.

       getCDKScrollHighlight
            returns the attribute of the highlight bar.

       getCDKScrollCurrentTop
            returns the top line of the scroller, counting from zero.

       getCDKScrollItems
            fills the parameter itemList with the contents of the scrolling list.  It returns the
            number of elements in the scrolling list.

       injectCDKScroll
            injects a single character into the widget.

            •   The parameter scroll points to a non-NULL scroll widget.

            •   The parameter character is the character to inject into the widget.

            The  return  value and side-effect (setting the widget data exitType) depend upon the
            injected character:

            RETURN or TAB
                   the function returns a value ranging from zero to one less than the number  of
                   items,  representing  the  item  selected.  The widget data exitType is set to
                   vNORMAL.

            ESCAPE the function returns -1.  The widget data exitType is set to vESCAPE_HIT.

            Otherwise
                   unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or key bindings, the function
                   returns -1.  The widget data exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT.

       insertCDKScrollItem
            allows the user to add an item into an existing scrolling list.

            •   The scroll parameter points to the scrolling list to add the item to.

            •   The parameter item is a char * representing the new item to add.

            The item is always added before the current item in the list.

       moveCDKScroll
            moves the given widget to the given position.

            •   The parameters xpos and ypos are the new position of the widget.

                The  parameter  xpos  may  be  an  integer  or one of the pre-defined values TOP,
                BOTTOM, and CENTER.

                The parameter ypos may be an integer or  one  of  the  pre-defined  values  LEFT,
                RIGHT, and CENTER.

            •   The parameter relative states whether the xpos/ypos pair is a relative move or an
                absolute move.

                For example, if xpos = 1 and ypos = 2 and relative = TRUE, then the widget  would
                move one row down and two columns right.  If the value of relative was FALSE then
                the widget would move to the position (1,2).

                Do not use the values TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER when relative  =  TRUE.
                (weird things may happen).

            •   The  final  parameter  refresh is a boolean value which states whether the widget
                will get refreshed after the move.

       newCDKScroll
            creates a scroll widget and returns a pointer to it.  Parameters:

            •   The screen parameter is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.

            •   The parameter xpos controls the placement of  the  object  along  the  horizontal
                axis.   This  parameter  may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values LEFT,
                RIGHT, and CENTER.

            •   ypos controls the  placement  of  the  object  along  the  vertical  axis.   This
                parameter  may  be an integer value or one of the pre-defined values TOP, BOTTOM,
                and CENTER.

            •   spos is where the scroll bar is to be placed.  This may be one of three values:

                LEFT,
                     which puts the scroll bar on the left of the scrolling list.

                RIGHT
                     which puts the scroll bar on the right side of the list, and

                NONE which does not add a scroll bar.

            •   height and width control the height and width of the widget.

                If you provide a value of zero for either of the height or the width, the  widget
                will  be  created with the full width and height of the screen.  If you provide a
                negative value, the widget will be created the full height  or  width  minus  the
                value provided.

            •   title  is the string which will be displayed at the top of the widget.  The title
                can be more than one line; just provide a carriage return character at  the  line
                break.

            •   itemList is the list of items to be displayed in the scrolling list.

            •   items is the number of elements in the given list.

            •   numbers  is  true  if you want the items in the list to have a number attached to
                the front of the list items.

            •   highlight specifies the display attribute of the currently selected item.

            •   box is true if the widget should be drawn with a box around it.

            •   shadow is true to turn the shadow on around this widget.

            If the widget could not be created then a NULL pointer is returned.

       positionCDKScroll
            allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the cursor/keypad keys.  See
            cdk_position (3) for key bindings.
